After George Orwall's 1984 I wasn't quiet sure about reading another dystopian novel. But A Clockwork Orange got me right at the first page. Contrary to 1984 Anthony Burgess's story, characters and his political massage, all form together to a fantastic piece of fiction. And by the way he created one of the best fantasy languages/slangs that I've ever read. So one could actually say it was a "real horrorshow book".
